My cat does it too. He got stung the other day in the mouth, he is absolutely fine, was a bit fussy and he cried for a while and wanted a lot of love, but nothing serious, he hasn't even learned his lesson, he went after another one today :-). If she eats one it will die pretty quickly in her stomach acids anyway so i wouldn't worry too much, you can always take her to the vet if she has a bad reaction, other than that you could try spraying bug repellent on her before she goes out, that will keep them away from her. Odds are she wont out grow this, my cat is almost two and he still does it, and don't worry about or listen to anyone telling you cats shouldn't go outside, unless you want to have an indoor cat it's fine. If it wasn't OK for your cats to be out the R.S.P.C.A would take them away!

My cats always go after insects of all types. They have not yet been stung by a bee. Keep a close eye on the kitten, in the event that it is stung. Check for any signs of problems and then to the vet immediately. I would strongly suggest keeping the kitten indoors as a pet.

Hi Lilly...if you are able to supervise her it's best to distract her in order to avoid the bees by offering another fun toy. The worse case scenario if she accidentally ingests one it could cause some problems as the throat and tongue are soft tissue and could swell to make breathing difficult or cause an asthmatic reaction, which will require immediate veterinary care. Additionally, some cats are allergic to bee stings like humans and you will not be able to know until after it happens. I'll include a couple website that details out why it's important to safeguard your kitty against bees.

My kitten just got stung on the nose a few days ago. He is fine. They like to catch them because they fly sort of slow and they can pounce on them all lion-like.
He or she will be fine. It's a natural kitten thing to do.

no it will not die. Worse case scenario it will get stung in the mouth but it will be ok. Try and keep it indoors as much as possible for the next 5-6 months until it outgrows this phase.

My petite kitten replaced into 3 lbs at 12 weeks, i believe. That replaced into the week I have been given her. feels like your kitten isn't doing too undesirable if it replaced right into a runt. As for the sneezing, i do no longer understand. hypersensitive reactions or a chilly? you will be able to desire to call the vet and notice in the event that they think of its something to be nerve-racking approximately or basically watch.

Why is your kitten outside? You should keep her in the house.

Cats are hunters; you can't stop your cat from doing this. The best you can do is get her enough toys to keep her distracted.

you might want to get an exterminator to your house if you have that many bees in your house.
